We design and deliver custom AI and software, modernize Azure, and run your Microsoft cloud day to day. A credentialed partner, not a vendor. For all your IT needs.
Custom cloud apps and modernization, built and shipped on Azure.
Data platforms, analytics, and production AI on Azure.
Secure, scalable Azure migration and platform operations.
Certified Microsoft support backed by our own engineers.
Audited, validated expertise deploying AI apps on Azure.
A delivery shop with 15+ years on the Microsoft stack and an Azure and AI MVP on staff. The work below runs in production, not on a pitch deck.
We find what you can ship in 30 to 60 days with tools you already own (Copilot, Azure AI Foundry, Power Platform) before anyone writes custom code. Speed without judgment is a liability, so every engagement starts with the assessment.
How we run it
CSP licensing, Azure platform work, security baselining, and AI governance, backed by our Support Services designation. The work that keeps production running, governed, and your finance team unsurprised.

Web and mobile applications with AI in the pipeline, not bolted on later. Specs first, delivery fast, people accountable. The team you'd build internally if you had two years and a recruiter.
Our approach
Here's how we solve our clients' hardest problems with AI, cloud, and custom software.
We find a 30-to-60-day win in tools you already own, ship it to production, and make adoption stick.
One consistent journey from first conversation to AI running in production, in the same language Microsoft's own field teams use. Security first, then three steps.
Before any AI goes live, we lock down the data it will touch: Microsoft Purview, sensitivity labels, DLP, and Zero Trust. Slow down before you go fast.
A complimentary one-hour working session. You leave with an AI maturity score across five dimensions, two to three quick wins, and one clear recommendation.
One complimentary hour →A complimentary full day at the Microsoft Innovation Hub. Use cases mapped across Microsoft's four outcomes, scored, with one POC scoped before you leave.
Map your use cases →A scoped engagement where we design your first use case, deliver it, and ship it to production on Azure, with the governance from step zero wired in.
Every use case we map lands on one of the four outcomes Microsoft's Frontier Firm model defines. If it doesn't land on one, we don't scope it.
Safe Copilot adoption, productivity without data risk.
AI grounded in your own data.
Agents that automate the work, Copilot Studio to Foundry.
AI embedded in your own products and platforms on Azure.
Most engagements move through the same five gates, plus an optional sixth, whether we're delivering AI, custom software, or running your Microsoft cloud. We don't name clients here; confidentiality matters more than marketing. We scope yours up front.
However you reach us (an AI idea, a system to build, or a cloud to run), we map the problem, the constraints, and the outcome that matters before we scope anything.
Architecture, success metrics, and hand-over plan written before we touch the keyboard.
Senior engineers on the keyboard · two-week sprints · weekly demos · production-grade from sprint one.
Cutover playbook, observability wired, real users on the live system.
Runbooks, training, and knowledge transfer so your team owns what we delivered with confidence. And we never go away. We're a partner, not a vendor.
CSP licensing, Azure platform support, and security monitoring · we keep it running only if you'd rather not staff it.
Our Solution Offerings are packaged engagements with a clear deliverable, a clear timeline, and a named next step. Three of the eight are complimentary.

View the offering“ArchitectNow filled holes that we couldn't fill by simply hiring. They brought highly skilled people immediately into initiatives, which was crucial for our success. Their willingness to jump in quickly and own the problem was invaluable."
“The ArchitectNow team are trustworthy, have good integrity, and are responsive. If they don't know the answer, they will get the answer. Everyone I work with at ArchitectNow fits that characterization, and that's pretty important to me."
“Working with ArchitectNow has allowed us to increase the volume of work we do and project our professionalism to the groups we work with. ArchitectNow has been a great partner for us. They consistently put forward a good product and were willing to work with us, treating us as if we were an important client, even though we are a relatively small client.”
A vendor takes the order, ships it, and sends the invoice. We do the rude work of asking whether what you asked for is what you need, then we design it, deliver it, run it, and stay on for whatever comes next.
That changes how we show up at every step. Below: the constants behind it, whether we're designing and delivering AI solutions, shipping software, or running your Microsoft cloud.
We ground every recommendation in the environment we just walked, not a template. If we can't tie it to what we saw, we don't pitch it.
Demos are easy. We ship software that holds up under real users, real load, and real data, and is still running years later.
Four Solutions Partner designations. 550+ projects shipped. The work either moves a number you can name, or it doesn't ship.
"Should we" comes before "can we," every time. The discipline of picking the right build is what saves the budget for the build that matters.
The same engineers who ship your system support it and are there for the next thing. Vendors hand off and disappear. We don't go anywhere.
A vendor's work ends at delivery. Ours doesn't. The best projects we ship are the second and the fifth, for teams that stay because they want to, not because they're locked in.

Often, yes. Our AI Apps on Azure specialization opens Microsoft funding programs that can cover a meaningful share of a qualified initial AI or cloud engagement, and we handle the application.
The AI Innovation Assessment is one complimentary hour. A proof of value or Fabric POC runs about 4 to 6 weeks. A full production build runs 8 to 16 weeks, depending on complexity and data readiness.
No. Most of our clients are mid-market companies, and we work with larger enterprises too. The engagement scales to the problem, and it always starts with the assessment.
